Chapter 448 A rising tide lifts all boats
When Feng Biao made the call, he was still a little nervous.
The main reason is that his life has been too good these days, not that the material enjoyment is too good. After he became rich, he has broadened his horizons abroad and realized how luxurious those rich people are.
The main reason was that the treatment he received was too high and Feng Biao felt that he did not deserve it.
The feeling of being flattered is hard to describe and hard to define accurately. Anyway, he was used to being ignored since he was a child. Even though he became a sniper when he grew up, a role that requires talent and hard work, Feng Biao still finds it difficult to bear the attention he is receiving now.
Maybe it’s because he is a sniper, Feng Biao doesn’t like to be paid too much attention, and he doesn’t like to be under the spotlight. But now, he is forced to become the person with the halo.
What halo?
The halo of the god of wealth, or the halo of a money-giving boy who can give money to others.
It was because he sold a missile for someone else, no, it was a civilian rocket, and then Feng Biao's status soared along with the rocket.
Who doesn’t have friends and relatives?
Xu Feng had a meal with Feng Biao, who was not the one who treated him, and they sold ten sets of civilian rockets at once, which amounted to sales of several hundred million yuan. It saved the whole factory in one go.
The most terrible thing is that the buyer has to pay first!
Pay first, pay first, pay first!!!
It’s not enough to say important things three times, and no one would believe you even if you say it thirty times.
With only a piece of information, a brochure, and not even a complete PPT, it was not that it was not made, but that it was not distributed at all. But then what happened? Then Saudi Arabia directly paid the full amount in advance.
Get it clear, pay the full amount in advance! When Xu Feng's 1234 Institute couldn't even produce the goods, didn't know when they would be delivered, and couldn't even arrange a production plan, they paid directly.
The money was not given directly to Xu Feng, nor to the import and export company responsible for sales, but directly to Feng Biao.
Saudi Arabia is too generous and Gao Yi is too busy, so Feng Biao has become the God of Wealth.
Then Feng Biao was also honest. As soon as he collected the money, he called Xu Feng directly to ask him to sign the contract and paid the full amount in advance, not a penny less.
Xu Feng was almost crying. He almost begged Feng Biao to accept the kickback and give him the remaining money after deducting 40% of the total transaction amount.
For Xu Feng, he could not collect the full payment and then pay the kickback, mainly because the accounts were difficult to settle, so he could only ask Feng Biao to collect the money first.
Of course, Xu Feng initially said 30% of the total transaction amount, not 30% of the profit, but the other party had already paid the full amount in advance and hadn't even set a delivery date. How could Xu Feng have the nerve to pay a 30% kickback?
Xu Feng felt that he should be ranked third and seventh.
Xu Feng still has this awareness.
Then, because the price of Xu Feng's rocket was too outrageous and he had to complete the formalities, the transaction was known to someone, either the general assembly department or the person in charge of import and export.
It's not that he doesn't understand the principle of making a fortune in silence, but there are some things he can't hide.
Then again, who doesn’t have friends and relatives?
Then, everyone knows how competitive Tokyo University is.
Not to mention 996 or the hidden fact that production is the second largest in the world, let’s just talk about export trade. Those who are engaged in import and export know how fierce the competition is.
It’s not about competing with foreigners, but competing with domestic counterparts. We are all competing to the death together.
Xu Feng sells civilian anti-pirate rockets, so people don't compete with Xu Feng. It's okay for them to sell air defense missiles, individual anti-tank rockets, and long-range ground-to-ground detection rockets. They won't steal Xu Feng's business, but they can always follow suit and sell air defense rockets.
So, Feng Biao now lives in a guesthouse, eats in the cafeteria, and brings his parents with him.
In terms of conditions, it is actually not better than the five-star hotel that Feng Biao can live in now, but in terms of treatment, let’s just say that only rich people can enjoy it.
What's important is not how much a meal costs, but who is eating it with you.
But none of this matters. What matters is that tonight’s meal is different.
How should Feng Biao explain this to Gao Yi?
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Biao whispered, "I don't know how to say it. Well, I'll just say it one by one. First of all, I just had a meal tonight. One of the people who came was a director of the General Assembly."
Gao Yi was stunned for a moment because he didn't understand what final assembly meant.
"The director told me that one of the projects he was looking at had an air defense missile. This missile was very mature and very good, but it was not included in the equipment in the end. However, it was more than enough for export."
Gao Yi said: "Oh, it's a defective product?"
"No, it's true that we haven't competed with our peers, but our products are still among the best."
"Well, go on."
"The director said that competition for similar missiles is too fierce and it is impossible to equip them repeatedly. It would be a pity to waste the initial research funds. He wanted us to find a way to sell them."
Gao Yi exhaled and said, "Hey, it's still internal competition."
"Yes, but we have to sell them all. It's like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. Whoever sells it first gets it." "That's easy. Just sell it. Why are you panicking?"
"Last time it was a private factory, but this time it's different, this time it's state-owned."
"Why bother with him? Anyway, the product is really good, so just sell it if you can."
Feng Biao was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, that's all easy to talk about, but I haven't finished my meal yet, and the local guide came to see me."
"Ground contact? Oh, I see. What did the ground contact say?"
"The local contact said that the last deal was very good, so this time he wanted to ask us if we could help get some things. Well, now the main two are, one is the specific progress of the AIM-120 dual-pulse missile in the United States, and the other is the progress of the Su-57 in Russia."
Feng Biao exhaled lightly, and then he whispered: "This is serious intelligence, not the kind that was traded before. Anyway, this kind of intelligence that specifies what is needed is not that easy to get."
Gao Yi also felt embarrassed. He whispered, "This... is hard to say. It is indeed troublesome."
If they really want to do it, it is not impossible, but the problem is that Gao Yi is the type of person who can get along with everyone. If he loses the network of relationships that made him a living in order to get this information, it will be a bit troublesome.
Feng Biao whispered, "That's why I said it's troublesome."
"Well, what do they want, detailed technical information?"
Gao Yi’s first reaction was that someone was trying to steal technology, but Feng Biao’s answer was beyond his expectations.
"I don't want detailed technical information, just help me ask what stage their progress has reached, and find out whether the dual pulse of AIM120 is successful. I don't want specific technical parameters, nor do I want the actual product."
Gao Yi was surprised and said, "Just one question? Why do you need to come to us? These things are all public to the Americans."
"I don't know either. I don't understand either, so I didn't dare to agree."
Feng Biao's tone was full of bitterness.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Well, I told them that if they were just asking about this, it would be too simple and it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm just asking about it and it shouldn't be a problem. What about the Su-57?"
"I want to know their progress, just asking, but they didn't tell me what they wanted to ask specifically, so I don't know. I think this is the case. I just want to test whether you are willing to help. If I contact you directly, it will be embarrassing if you are rejected, and it will be awkward to deal with you in the future, so I want to pass the message through me first."
Gao Yi understood that this was an Eastern-style transaction and it was not stated clearly, lest everyone would lose face if rejected.
If Gao Yi agrees, he can contact Huang Haisheng.
Neither of these two things is difficult, and they don’t even cost much. Moreover, even if it costs money, it is not a problem and can be done.
After a moment's silence, Gao Yi whispered, "Okay, I understand. I'll contact them later."
"Okay, I'll tell them that."
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Brother Feng, it's not a good idea to pass on messages like this all the time. It's not convenient, and if I can't answer the phone, it will delay things. Next time something like this happens, we still have to be more cautious about intelligence. You should say hello to me first, but you can make the decision on arms sales yourself without asking me. If you think it's okay, just make the decision. Anyway, you are just a middleman, and it's their business whether to buy or not. Also, Abdullah is in charge of these things now. If you think it's okay, just discuss it with him, don't ask me."
Feng Biao didn't dare to make the decision and had to ask Gao Yi for everything. This was not only troublesome, but since he had told Gao Yi, Gao Yi had to say hello to Shaman. As a result, it became a favor and it was not a business deal at all.
Feng Biao contacted Abdullah directly, and there was no need to involve personal relationships to decide whether the deal would work out. This was the only way to make a long-term deal.
Feng Biao hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll contact Abdullah."
Gao Yi exhaled and said, "That's it. I'll be busy now. I'll tell you when I have news."
After the phone call was hung up, Feng Biao breathed a sigh of relief. He thought for a while, got up and left his room, walked a few steps, came to the door of the adjacent room, and knocked gently on the door.
The door opened and there were four people sitting inside. When they saw Feng Biao coming in, they all stood up with smiles on their faces.
Feng Biao smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
This room was more like a meeting room. After Feng Biao sat on a single sofa covered with a white cushion, a middle-aged man smiled impatiently and said, "Boss Feng, what does Boss Gao mean?"
Feng Biao nodded and said, "Of course President Gao agrees. He is definitely willing to make some contributions to the country. I will contact them later."
The representatives of the two companies were very happy because it was very efficient to get things done to this extent during their first meeting.
There is no one who is ignorant who can roll it out, but it is not convenient to conduct detailed research now, so after a few casual chats, everyone said goodbye and left.
Only after these people leave can the main event begin.
